This is my 1988 Rally Saab 900 T. The left side boot ripped at a rally -X and a few weeks later it made the crunch noise upon slow steering with the throttle applied. I figured it was time for a boot and repacked the Constant velocity joint.
For B5 VW Passat with automatic transmission – a cheap rebuilt joint on the driveaxle can result in driveline vibration when stopped in drive or reverse gear that goes away in neutral. This is why on the B5 Passat or Audi with auto trans, you don’t want a cheap rebuilt axle from your the local parts store. See http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/b5/CV-boot-broken-replacement.htm for the repair procedure and how to replace the CV boot.
